There was an excellent turnout for club Vice President Rodger Shearer giving a presentation called “Chasing the Light”. This showcased some of Rodger’s landscape photographs. His presentation was full of helpful tips and techniques. Rodger is always looking to improve his own photography and will re-visit locations to see if he can take a better shot than the previous time. He explained the equipment and camera settings he uses and the composition guidelines he considers when creating his photographs. We were treated to a wonderful display of landscape images taken in a variety of countries including Scotland, The Faroe Islands, Canada and Alaska.
